You can always tell when the War Party wants a new war. They will invariably trot out the Argumentum ad Hitlerum. Before the 1991 Gulf War, Saddam had become the Hitler of Arabia, though he had only conquered a sandbox half the size of Denmark. Milosevic then became the Hitler of the Balkans, though he had lost Slovenia, Croatia, and Macedonia, was struggling to hold Bosnia and Kosovo, and had defeated no one.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Comes now the new Hitler.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb This is 1935, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is as close to Adolf Hitler as we’ve seen, said Newt Gingrich to a startled editor at Human Events. We now know who they are the question is who are we. Are we Baldwin or Churchill?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb In 1935 Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini intimidated the democracies, Newt plunged ahead. The question is who is going to intimidate who. Yes, a little learning can be a dangerous thing.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb A few facts. First, when Hitler violated the Versailles Treaty by announcing rearmament in March 1935, Baldwin was not in power. Second, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald quickly met with Il Duce to form the Stresa Front against Hitler. Third, when Mussolini invaded Abyssinia in October 1935, Baldwin imposed sanctions.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb But Churchill did not wholly approve. Abyssinia, said Churchill, is a wild land of tyranny, slavery, and tribal war. No one can keep up the pretense that Abyssinia is a fit, worthy, and equal member of a league of civilized nations.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb As late as 1938, Churchill was still proclaiming the greatness of Il Duce: It would be a dangerous folly for the British people to underrate the enduring position in world history which Mussolini will hold; or the amazing qualities of courage, comprehension, self-control, and perseverance which he exemplifies.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

L’ignorance extraordinaire des hommes qui dirigent le monde est un grand et constant sujet d’\u00e9bahissement. C’est aussi une bonne partie d’une explication que l’\u00e9volution catastrophique du monde devrait nous faire exiger. Voici le cas de Newt Gingrich. Ce n’est pas un m\u00e9chant homme.
